Here you go:
These bad boys are 120mm ammo containers. (The120mm refers to the projectile, not the container.) These things are the shiznits for storage. It has all the properties of your average ammo can – nigh indestructability, waterproof, airtight, rugged, subdued color – along with one extra feature: can be locked securely with a padlock. The locking mechanism uses an eccentric cam to force the gasketed lid into place…seals tighter than a virgin on prom night.
I’ll save you a trip to get your tape measure: AR, Ak, and other pistol-grip rifles will not fit without removal of pistol grip. An SKS will fit but you’ll have to take it out of the stock. A 10/22 will fit as-is..so will most combat shotguns.
Specs: •Large Ammo Storage Tube 120mm Mortar •Excellent Condition 44-1/4”long, Inside 40” deep, •Inside diameter 6.75” w/air tight seal cap weight: 21lbs
These things are from Natchez Shooters Supply, located in Tennesee. Shipping weight is 21#. You can trot over to UPS’ website to calcualte shippingt o your area.
I cannot recommend these things highly enough. A 10/22, couple bricks of ammo, a dozen mags, cleaning kit, and all that support gear will fit inside and be pretty much nuke-proof. Toss it under the floorboards of your cabin, in a culvert, up in the rafters or some other easy-to-hide place and it’ll last forever. Sadly, a stack of #10 cans of Mountain House will NOT fit..although if they did it would be uber-coolness.
These things are also excellent truck boxes for smaller items you dont wanna leave in the bed of your truck unattended.
Seriously, these things are great. Heres the link..get ’em while theyre marked down from $13.95. by the way, the printed catalog says $3.99, so order online for additional savings.
Ooooh, that’s a good find. Two of them are on their way to Casa de Mellow right now. Thanks for the heads-up.
Well, that totally sucks. They don’t ship to TN, AL, or GA, and I’m in GA. I didn’t see anywhere stating why they won’t ship to those states, either (never had any problems getting anything else firearm related shipped here).
Why don’t they ship to GA, TN or AL?
Why is this a good idea? Someone breaks into your house and they have instant portability. You planning on bolting it (them) to the floor?
I don’t think most of us were considering them for regular home storage but rather for stashing guns and ammo (as in, hiding them).
You can loop a length of chain through the holes at the top and chain it to whatever your favorite object is. Additionally, the idea of a $3 gun safe is that it beats no gun safe.
Frick’in shipping was like $13 per tube, but still worth it.
good surplus
is always a good buy. hide your extra cash and coin and 9mm ammo from “casual boworrers”, ho ho. Wildflower 06
Tell me about it… (in GA too)
As I understand, they supply retail shops too, and don’t want to have an adversarial relationship with their local business customers. I can’t guaranty (never could spell that damn word right) this is the real reason, but it’s what I understand as truth.
Cool. I bought one for Buffy & Cordelia. I’ve been feeling wierd about leaving them unattended out in my non-gun-loving sister’s garage, especially now that the garage door is broken and doesn’t lock. This is an excellent solution. Thanks for the heads-up.
Ok, so how do I get the ‘liner’ out?
Not sure what you mean? I know theres a foam donut in the bottom of the can. Anyway, flip the thing upsidedown and you’lls ee a bolt on the bottom of the can. Try unbolting that and seeing if this liner of which you speak comes out.
